I am sure there is some interest but you need to abide by the Forum “For Sale” pricing requirement.

I like that neat Marshall speaker. Very 60's and 70's. Great amp used by a lot of bands over the years. Nothing sounds like a Marshall.

Does the sweatered dauschaund come with it?   ;)

Good luck with sale, great looking car.

Dan, that's a portable bluetooth speaker.  Get yours from Amazon.  I'm thinking about it, they look great.  You can also get wood grain ones.

When I purchased my car it had a non functioning original Becker Grand Prix radio. Quotes to look at it and attempt a repair it were eye watering.

As such I installed an under dash hidden USB port and a quality Bluetooth speaker that connects automatically when I open Spotify. Brilliant sound, deep base, easily reversible.

Game changer. Have not looked back!

Hi Dave.
I'm a little confused by your message.
It's a bit cryptic so perhaps you can say more as to your interest?
Regards.

JOH, I was referring to the two previous comments about the benefits of Bluetooth speakers in Pagodas. There has been a lot of interest in Becker radios and ways to subtly upgrade sound systems without making substantial or permanent changes to the original car.
Good luck with the sale!

Thanks. Yes, I'm aware of the B/B plan but it seems rather counterproductive.
